This event has been running for the last 15 years but this year was the first year that a disabled rider has competed.
Sophie competed in the assisted division doing novelty events, riding class and the ultimate inter-schools horse challenge.
Renee and Brydie were both very successful in the Year 11 division in sporting, show-jumping, dressage, stockman’s challenge and riding and hack classes.
Sophie has had a special saddle handmade for her by Phil Elton at the Tilba Leather shop, which enables Sophie to sit independently in the saddle.
